President Iliana Iotova called from the UN rostrum on Wednesday for the Black Sea to be transformed from a high-risk area into an area of national and international security – a safe area, a zone of free transport, energy, trade and digital corridors, of tourism, and a place where different cultures, religions and political systems meet in peace.
Security and stability in the Black Sea region as an integral part of security in all its dimensions were the main focus of the head of State’s address during the general debate of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly.
President Iotova is heading the Bulgarian delegation to the forum.
“The war in Ukraine has moved beyond the territorial waters of the countries involved in the conflict, and this affects Bulgaria directly, here and now. But the problem in the Black Sea has evolved from a regional one into a global one,” Iotova stressed. She said that the regional consequences, together with those of the war in Iran and the low water levels of the Danube River, pose a risk of a food crisis. Iotova also raised the issue of the resilience and balance of the Black Sea’s marine ecosystems, which are facing even greater threats as a result of the war in Ukraine.
She said that Bulgaria is preparing an initiative under which it will seek, together with the countries of the region and all interested States, to reach agreement and take joint action to ensure free and safe navigation in the Black Sea. “We are convinced that this issue deserves the attention of the United Nations,” Iotova stressed.
From the UN rostrum, the President paid tribute to Captain Marin Marinov, who lost his life in the Gaza Strip while carrying out a humanitarian mission.
